Callum wasn't too sharp in this match. Could come in for him and bat higher. Farny, Choco opening the bowling. Marcuss first change, Ged 4th bowler and me the 5th bowler.
Only two seamers is retarded. Farny batting 8 is retarded. Dropping Ged is retarded. Hence, Callum really has to play.
It's not that we think you'd score less runs at 8 than you would at 9 - it's that the batting will be far too weak if you're the 8th best batsman in the team.
It's not that I think you think i'd score less runs at 8. It's that I think you don't appreciate that I'd score MORE runs at 8. I refer you to my ALC record. This isn't much of a step up from that, if we're honest. I mean, look at how Marcus did, and he has reggies written all over him. Are you talking about my unparalleled mastery of the chinese cut?
Everyone would score more runs at 8 than at 9. There's more opportunity there. You're just not good enough though - you average ten in rep cricket with the bat. It's not like you've just played a couple of games there either. Batting one position higher isn't going to suddenly make you starting average 15 runs more; that's just superstitious garbage. The reason you fail so badly in rep cricket with the bat is because you're shit.
but the wickets (runs you'll save) you'll get from replacing callum with a decent bowler will far outweigh the runs you'll lose....IMO but I'm sure I'm wrong
Nah. The reason that he fails so hard is because he rapes so hard with the ball. One of these days he'll take no wickets in the game and he'll hit a ton.
